Dodgers Rumors: Scott Alexander Avoids Arbitration With Fully Guaranteed Contract

The Los Angeles Dodgers have yet to make decisions on their free agents or see any of them leave for other clubs, but Wednesday will bring about some roster activity due to the 5 p.m. PT deadline to tender a contract to players who are eligible for salary arbitration.

For the Dodgers that group consists of Scott Alexander, Austin Barnes, Cody Bellinger, Walker Buehler, Dylan Floro, Corey Seager and Julio Urias. Any player who is non-tendered would immediately become a free agent; the Dodgers did so with Yimi Garcia last year.

There was some thought Alexander could fall into that boat, but instead he is the first to have reportedly avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1 million contract.
